If Valve really wanted to people to move to Linux they would give special discounts only to Linux users, and special game give aways only to Linux users.

And have titles be pre-released on Linux like 24 hours or 48 hours before they come to Windows.

Windows is a better gaming platform, the drivers are more stable, the performance is better, there are more games, and it have more stuff that gamers care about such as Skype, Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, etc which doesn't exist for Linux or are of subpar quality.

As long as there are no linux exclusives, that isn't exactly easy to do. Right now, native linux support is simply a convenience to already existing linux gamers, which there were never much of to begin with. Also, Nvidia overall has better performance on linux than Windows.

Nobody will argue that. It is true for 2014. But will it be true for 2020? I think valves goal is a long term one...

And by the way:
Skype and teamspeak are available for linux in same quality as on windows.
Ventrilo Server also, only Ventrily client is bound to win/max
